There's a rumor the 8.0 supplements (The original "codex marines") will get a new supplement. A number of First Born HQ are about to "rotate out" but will come back, and MAY come back in another form. One of those models is Chronus. I've always enjoyed making a Chronus Spear of Macragge List but rarely get to play them. Most of the time(s) I've used Chronus he was basically just a vehicle upgrade like a Dozer blade. Do six medium tanks work? Do they still work if three are Predators? If Chronus crosses the Rubicon (but otherwise stays basically the same) or GW quits being ridiculous and lets him drive Primaris tanks - I'd probably drop the Preds and Victrix for all 6 being Gladiators. maybe 3-3 Lancer/Reaper maybe 2-2-2 Lancer, Reaper, Valiants. Thoughts? Assume the board isn't a screw you to vehicles -

Personally I’d drop the Victrix Guard and 1 Shield Vet and buy a impulsor to ride around in. I’d like to see that list played though. Chronus is always fun.
